What we do for you

Few people are interested in technical standardisation and even fewer have heard of ANEC. Yet, although standardisation may not seem at all sexy at first glance, it is an essential component of modern life and the role of ANEC is key.

ANEC 2018

Work Programme 2018

The Work Programme sets out the activities ANEC plans to undertake in 2018. It lists areas of activity under our seven priority areas, as well as under the horizontal area of Policy. ANEC priorities are also reflected in the UAWP for Standardisation 2018.

ANEC is the European consumer voice in standardisation, defending the collective consumer interests in the processes of technical standardisation, conformity assessment, accreditation and market surveillance as well as related legislation and public policies.

ANECwas established in 1995 as an international non-profit association under Belgian law and is open to the representation of national consumer organisations in 34 countries.

ANECis funded by the European Union and EFTA, with national consumer organisations contributing in kind. Its Secretariat is based in Brussels.
